About the Arranger: Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes brings decades of experience as a pianist, conductor, and prolific composer to his arrangements. With over 1,750 published works spanning classical, sacred, choral, and popular idioms, Hayes has established himself as a major voice in American music. He holds a degree in piano performance from Baylor University and has conducted world premieres of his own works at Lincoln Center and beyond, including performances in Rome as part of the Vatican's Festival Pro Musica E Arte Sacra.

Hayes's versatility extends across concert music, musical theater orchestration, and record production. His body of work reflects both technical mastery and an instinct for what works in performance, whether in the concert hall or the rehearsal room. For choral directors, his arrangements offer the hallmark of his style: clear writing, strong harmonic foundation, and genuine musicality that respects both the ensemble and the material.

Why we love this

Hayes treats each character song as its own complete moment before weaving them together at the end, so the arrangement never feels like it's just stringing three songs together. The 2-part voicing keeps the piece accessible while the harmonic language and orchestral touch stay sophisticated enough to keep adult ears interested. This is the kind of holiday selection that actually works in concert because it balances fun with musicianship.

What to expect

Playful and nostalgic all at once. The medley captures the charm of these beloved characters while Hayes's arranging hand brings harmonic warmth and unexpected moments of genuine musical surprise. It lands somewhere between novelty and genuine artistry, which is exactly where holiday music should live.

Who it's for

Directors programming winter concerts who need a contemporary selection that appeals across age groups and skill levels. The 2-part voicing makes it accessible for developing choirs while the arrangement's sophistication keeps experienced singers engaged.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape each of the three songs distinctly in rehearsal so the transitions feel intentional rather than abrupt; treat them as three movements within one piece rather than a medley.
  • If you add the instrumental parts or recorded accompaniment, run several full rehearsals with them to lock the ensemble's confidence in the harmonic language and to ensure the ending knits together cleanly.
  • Balance clarity and joy in the choral tone; Hayes's pop harmonies need clean, bright articulation without becoming thin or overly produced.

How to use it

Save this for the second half of your concert when the audience is warmed up and ready to enjoy something lighter. It pairs well alongside more traditional seasonal selections because its pop roots and character-driven storytelling offer a refreshing contrast. The optional instrumental accompaniment transforms it into a true show-stopper that can anchor an entire holiday program.

Skills your students will build
